my first two strand was done by my stylist, but i occassionally do my own two strands. it usually takes about 2 hours for medium size twists and it has taken about 4-5 hours for small twists. i use them more as a protective style when i don’t feel like messing with my hair for a couple days.

they really aren’t my friend, as my twists usually unravel unless pinned back, but two strand twistouts are heaven, so i endure it.

good luck on the braid out, though.that’ll be pretty.

i hope to see the results, and some of the other styles you’re gonna do!

1)Braid out are easy, do it!2)I’ve never banded.3)Two strand twists get better with practice so do them like a braid out. If they are ugly just wear the twist-out.4)Don’t really like wash-n-gos.5)Use LUSH henna, add hot water and apply no dryness.6)See #3
